    I think “what’s good for me right now” is fundamental to the right wing viewset. Hypocrisy isn’t a factor because that doesn’t typically intersect with “is this good for me right now?”

    You can point out they said X and now they say Not-X, but that’s going to be as effective as someone telling you that your math is wrong because yesterday you were wearing green and today you’re wearing brown. it’s just a non-sequitur to them.

      I usually agree but sometimes I think it’s a mistake to attribute any principle to them whatsoever. More and more I think the right wing has no actual center and is just an agglomeration of voters being swung around and manipulated by a random list of media and political hustlers. They’re a blob of chaos being goaded forward by this grifter and now that grifter. I’d like to believe there is any kind of guiding principle they have in mind but I don’t think there actually is any. They are so-and-so many asses braying toward so-and-so many dangled carrots.
